I took a 1.00 bag from a thrift store and with some recycled yarn and a hook, made it unique and sturdy.
This bag rattled around in my life for about 2 months before I was asked to house/critter sit a friends place while on vacation. I too plenty to do so this was one of the projects I was able to finish while there.
I found this yummy muffler for .50 at another thrift store and "frogged" it. For those not familiar it is when take a crocheted or knitted item and "rip it rip it rip it"...
About 1/3 up, I found a break in the weave. I didn't have my hot glue gun with me, so I had to get creative. I took a lid the same color from the top of a frosting can, but some strips and taped them in. It held till I could get home and glue it but it allowed me to finish the bag.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- A basket with a weave affect (Goodwill)
- Muffler that was knitted (Goodwill)
- K size crochet hook (Had)
- Scissors and blue tape/plastic lid you won't need if your item has no holes (Had)
